Hakureisaiga- Another day, another chapter, I need a damn drink

Hakureisaiga-(pulls out bottle) Huh? It is empty….NOO, WHY'S THE RUM GONE?!!

Taka-(sweatdrops) All that for a bottle of rum?

Tobi-Tobi is a good (hiccup) boy

Hakureisaiga-(flames in eyes) You bastard, you drank my rum…I kill you!

Hakureisaiga-(chokes Tobi)

Taka (sighs) Guess I started the chapter then

Taka's secret was safe and the scroll was returned, making Taka's reputation and trust solid. Shinobi and civilians alike respected and feared especially his relationship with Anko and Hinata, along with some of the most powerful jonin and ANBU such as Asuma Sarutobi, Gekko Hayate, and Yugao Uzuki. Only a few handful loathed him or didn't trust him fully, among them was Kurenai Yuhi. She has her reasons and they will be uncovered.

"He is just like the others…like Aoi and Orochimaru, soon he will weed his way into Anko's heart and then crush it in his palm."She thought to herself. The Ice Queen looked up to see a summons and headed to the Hokage's Tower

Hokage's Tower- "As you know, today is where the next generation takes their first step in the world of ninja. Your teams will be assigned as followed. Team 7 led by Hatake Kakashi will be Haruno Sakura, Uchiha Sasuke, and Inuzaka Kiba, Team 10, led by Sarutobi Asuma will be Nara Shikamaru, Yamanaka Ino, and Akimichi Choji, and Team 8 led by Yuhi Kurenai will be Hyuuga Hinata, Aburame Shino, and…Taka. Next…(And we are going to skip the rest since they are insignificant) "You have your respected teams, you are to report to the Academy at 1000 hours. Dismissed!" Sarutobi said.

Every jounin filed out quietly except Kakashi and Kurenai, who stayed behind. "Yes, Kakashi, Kurenai?" the Sandaime said, turning his attention on the two of them.

Kurenai spoke up first, "Hokage-sama, I was wondering why I was assigned Taka to my squad."

Sarutobi answered, "Taka, as an assassin, specializes in obviously assassination, infiltration, interrogation, and tracking. As a ninja, he excels in taijutsu and ninjutsu, so his weak point happens to be genjutsu. Plus as a newly instated jonin, he could help you out and I think you need a little spice in your life."

Kurenai bowed, "That seems reasonable enough, Hokage-sama. Thank you for clarifying with me."

Then the Genjutsu Mistress walked out as she thought, "I will be able to watch Taka's motives with Anko-chan at a closer viewpoint…and Anko-chan won't suspect a thing."

When Kurenai was gone, Kakashi said, "Sarutobi-sama, I requested Taka to be on my squad, why put him on Kurenai's team?"

The Sandaime took a long drag out of his pipe, "The same reasons I told Kurenai earlier apply here and including the fact that we are dealing with Danzo and those bastards I used to call teammates. They might trace the connection between Taka and Naruto Uzumaki the minute you glance at him or show favor. If I know Danzo, he is keeping an eye on him. So for now, I want you to keep your distance until he reveals his identity or you are on a mission with him outside the village."

Kakashi said, "Understood, Hokage-sama." The scarecrow then thought to himself, "I wanted to teach him Chidori since his speed is incredible."

Secret Base- "Danzo-sama, the teams have just been authorized, it seems that the subject , this Taka character is part of a team under the guidance of Kurenai Yuhi." An ROOT operative reported.

Danzo said, "Hmm…keep an eye on him, though I doubt that he is Uzumaki. He's probably dead and I could recruit him if he intrigues my interest enough."

Academy- Iruka said, "Now that you know your sensei and teammates, let me be the first to congratulate you in becoming a genin."

Taka turned to Hinata and Shino, "I can't believe that we are on the same team…and poor Kiba, he has to spent time with the president of the Sasuke Fan club and Sasuke." Shino said, "Yes, he is most unfortunate, but at least Sasuke has gotten better since you asked that question."

Taka replied, "True."

Suddenly Kurenai appeared and called out, "Team 8, come with me." The three looked sadly at Kiba and waved goodbye to their friends.

Garden- "We will stop here for now, my name is Kurenai Yuhi, my likes are genjutsu, my friends, roses and sunsets. My dislikes are perverts, sexists, and rapists, my hobbies are late night outings, making new genjutsu, and listening to jazz music. My dream is to be a great sensei to you, figure out an enigma in my life, and settle down with a man who loves for my heart more than my body." The jounin said.

Shino spoke up, "My name is Shino Aburame, my likes are studying bugs, my friends, and training. My dislikes are pesticides, arrogance, anybody hurting my friends, and pedophiles. My hobbies including bug collecting and outings with my friends, my dream is to live up to the exceptions as clan leader."

Hinata went next, "My name is Hinata Hyuuga, my likes are my friends, flower pressing, cinnamon rolls, the moonlight, and dancing. My dislikes are arrogance, perverts, rapists, pedophiles, necrophiles, Kumo somewhat, the Caged Bird Seal, and sadists except Taka and Ibiki-san since they both do it to people who deserve it, my hobbies are looking at sunsets, long walks, dancing, and also outings with my friends. My dream is to destroy the barrier between the Main and Branch families and allow them to marry outside of the clan."

Taka asked her, "Hey,Hinata-chan, how am I a sadist? I can understand Ibiki, but me?" Hinata answered, "Remember the tournament with Hiro and Sasuke."

Taka protested, "Oh, come on, I didn't hurt him that bad."

Hinata said in a serious tone, "Taka, after Hiro called that lady…what is her name, Anko something, you snapped and sent him to the hospital with a broken leg, a fractured skull, 4 or 5 broken ribs, his right arm fractured, and a black eye. Also when Sasuke beat up Kiba and me, you, according to Shikamaru's information, gave Sasuke a concussion."

Kurenai thought, "He is strong…he might abuse Anko, but…he did all of that just for hurting his friends and insulting Anko-chan."

Taka defended himself, "But…Hiro-teme thought he was going to get revenge for what I did to his father Ichiro-teme and called Anko a whore, plus Sasuke beat up Kiba viciously because he was a sore loser and hurt you with a cheap shot, which proves I am not a sadist, just an ordinary assassin that hates to see his friends hurt or insulted for the wrong reasons."

Kurenai thought to herself, "Am I wrong? Is Taka really that sincere? I think I will be paying that Ichiro a little visit today."

Taka said, "Well, anyway, my name is Taka, though you already know that, Kure-chan, my likes are sunsets, training, Anko-chan, my friends, the Brotherhood, ramen and dango. My dislikes are sexists, perverts, arrogance, people who judge a book by its cover and pedophiles, my hobbies are playing music, reading, training, and writing novels. My dream..I have not decided it yet."

Kurenai asked curiously, "Wait…what kind of books do you write?"

Taka pulled a book from his pouch and Kurenai expected it to be an Icha Icha Paradise book since nobody knew who wrote those books, but she was wrong. The novel was labeled 'Love Chronicles' "I write action and romance novels such as this one." The assassin said.

Kurenai and Hinata blushed at the sight of the book as they both shouted, "You write these books?!" Taka nodded, "Hey, an assassin gotta make some kind of money besides killing, I take it that you two are fans of it." Hinata exclaimed, "These are like the best bookseller here besides that Icha Icha Paradise. It is very detailed with a sense of adventure, and the sex scenes seemed to be full of passion and love. You wouldn't happen to…"

Taka said, blushing, "Actually… some of the scenes are references of my life and personalities of people I met. Also I need you guys to promise not tell anyone about this, I will give you a sneak peek of the sequel." Kurenai and Hinata giggled like schoolgirls and nodded to Taka's proposition.

Then Kurenai regained her composure and coughed, "Erm….now that we are familiar with each other, we will depart for today and tomorrow, you will take your real graduation exam."

Hinata said, "But…didn't we already do that?"

Kurenai replied, "That was a preliminary test, this one will test your hands-on skills as a ninja…but most of them will not pass since this test has a 66.6% failure rate." Taka smirked, "Then…we'll just be part of the 33.3% success rate. We pass indefinitely!"

Hinata and Shino smiled at his statement and nodded. "Hmm…maybe I am wrong about Taka…but just to be sure." Kurenai thought as she stared at Taka. Taka noticed her stare and called out, "Sensei, are you okay?"

Kurenai shook her head, "Umm…I'm fine. You are dismissed for today, report at training area 8 at 0800 hours."

Each genin said their goodbyes and parted ways, heading home while Kurenai went to Ichiro's house after she asked around to confirm her suspicions about Anko's involvement with Taka. "I will not let that happen again…not what Aoi did. Orochimaru was wrong and cruel, but what he did was sick and twisted."She thought

Flashback-6 years ago- "Aoi!!" Kurenai shouted, "Stop what you are doing and turn yourself in." Aoi turned from the tree and the young chunin gasped in horror.

Anko was bound to the tree, her legs spread out. Her shirt was torn, her hair strung out from the usual ponytail fell to cascade around her shoulders. Her face was swollen, bruised, and bloody to show that Aoi had to knock her out as she feebly resisted. Kurenai put two and two together as she saw that Aoi's zipper was down.

"Oh…Kami, Anko!" she shouted. Aoi smirked evilly, "She was a tough little bitch, she even bit me…but she finally succumbed to my will like that dirty snake whore she is."

Kurenai growled, "You bastard! I'll kill you!" She threw several kunai only for Aoi to move and jump into the shadow as he barked out, "Sayonara, Kurenai-chan…take care of Anko-chan for me and tell her that I had a good time raping her."

Kurenai moved to Anko as the jonin and chunin pursued Aoi. The chunin's tears fell as she took the humiliated Anko down and covered her with a blanket as medical teams came on the scene. (Flashback Ends)

"That day was when Anko made her mask and the day that I would be her first friend. Aoi… ore wa kesshite yurusanai!" she thought, her ruby eyes flashed a burning red. Soon she arrived at Ichiro's house and knocked on the door. The door opened to reveal Ichiro and then his eyes widened at the sight of her. "You!...please don't hurt me, I am not a pervert!"

Kurenai sweatdropped as she thought, "Geez, this man is pathetic."

Kurenai forced a smile, "I am not going to hurt you…I wanted to apologize for my actions on that day, but you should be careful of peeking or landing in the women's section."

Ichiro huffed in annoyance, "It was not my fault, that damn hooded assassin kicked me into the hot springs. All I said that the snake bitch wasn't welcome in the restaurant."

A tick mark appeared on Kurenai's head.

The man continued, "And then he decides to send my precious son Hiro to the hospital for insulting the same woman. He is a menace to society." Kurenai chanted in her mind a mantra, "Must not castrate, must not castrate, must not castrate."

It wasn't until the next thing he said that made her snap.

"Hmph…to me, she is just a whore who likes to fuck everything and anything that moves on sight…she is dressed like a hooker, so she must be one. I bet she let even dogs fuck her in the as…"

WHAM! Ichiro flew back inside his house due to Kurenai's fist. "Okay…he is so getting castrated." Kurenai thought as she walked inside the house and locked the door.

Luckily Hiro was still with his team or he would have heard the screams of pain in Ichiro's house, but the people believe that it was only him with someone going at it.

Kurenai left quietly after she erased Ichiro's memory and replaced with a memory of him falling down the stairs and broken both of his legs.

"Now I am convinced of Taka's actions….those two are the most incompetent bastards I have ever met. Hell, they are worse than Kakashi reading his damn porn in public." Kurenai muttered to herself.

Somewhere in Konoha- Kakashi sneezed into his mask and reached down to pull off his mask to clean his face and the inside, one of his old fangirls noticed his face and squealed in delight. Next thing he knew, he was soon running from a horde of fangirls. "Damn, someone was talking about me…..I'm gonna kill Gai." Kakashi thought.

Hakureisaiga- Finally finished this chapter, next time Team 8 will be tested by Kurenai in the next chapter: Genjutsu Test

Taka- Review or he'll send Gai clones after you and make you wear green spandex
